Last #AprilApples, we finally fixed the issue that was causing the phantom key presses on power up. This #AprilApples, we need to get COMPUTER back together again.

Tuesday I got the packing tape and adhesive off of the case top. Tonight, we need to try out COMPUTER's expansion cards - both the ones that came with COMPUTER as well as ones I bought to fill in functionality gaps.

Will the expansion cards work? Will any 74LS chips fail while testing them? Will I let more magic smoke out? You'll have to watch to find out!
